About this map

Deerlodge National Forest covers much of this high-country landscape where the boundaries of Deer Lodge, Jefferson, and Silver Bow counties meet. The mountainous terrain is defined by the Continental Divide, which separates the drainages of the Boulder River and Orofino Cr. Several prominent gulches, including Kit Carson Gulch and Strozzy Gulch, indicate a history of local exploration and possible prospecting, characteristic of the regions surrounding Butte.

Remote settlements and clearings like Lockhart Meadows and Four Corners are connected by forest roads such as Boulder Rd and Hail Columbia Rd. The geography is further marked by significant high-altitude crossings such as Champion Pass and the notable rise of Gospel Hill. This 2014 survey captures the intricate network of creek forks, including Powderhorn Cr and the N Fork Dry Cottonwood Cr, that navigate the complex ridges of this section of the Rocky Mountains.
